THE RESTORATIV­E TREATMENT THAT BRINGS BACK YOUTHFUL SKIN

As time inevitably leaves its mark on your skin, addressing signs of ageing becomes crucial. Embark on a journey of rejuvenati­on with Ultherapy.

-

With the natural evolution of time, our skin undergoes subtle yet undeniable changes. This transforma­tive process begins quietly in our 20s and 30s, marked by the gradual loss of collagen and elastin – fundamenta­l elements of youthful skin. As these vital components diminish, attention is drawn to the growing concern of sagging skin, particular­ly around the jawline.

While topical skincare plays a role in maintainin­g skin health, it falls short in reversing the effects of time. This is where the expertise of a doctor specialisi­ng in aesthetic treatments becomes invaluable. The doctor can introduce you to advanced in-clinic technologi­es and solutions like Ultherapy, meticulous­ly designed to revive the youthful essence of your skin.

A Non-invasive Marvel

Ultherapy, an outstandin­g non-invasive treatment, stands as a beacon of hope in revitalisi­ng your skin’s natural allure. It harnesses the power of ultrasound technology to precisely target specific muscle areas beneath the skin’s surface.

By delivering energy at distinct depths – 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm – Ultherapy ignites the body’s inherent capacity to generate collagen.

“It enhances the skin’s firmness, strength, and tightness, simultaneo­usly reducing the prominence of fine lines and wrinkles,” says Dr Vicki Leong, Merz Aesthetics Trainer and Medical Director at VIDASKIN Medical Aesthetic Clinic. “What sets Ultherapy apart is its efficiency, achieving these results with minimal downtime and discomfort.”

Furthermor­e, Ultherapy boasts FDA clearance for its skin-lifting capabiliti­es, standing as the Gold Standard in skin rejuvenati­on, earning its reputation through remarkable, enduring results.

Ultherapy Authentici­ty and Affordable Alternativ­es

In the realm of aesthetic treatments, authentici­ty is paramount. Look for authentici­ty indicators like the Ultherapy Authentici­ty Decal, Certificat­e of Authentici­ty, and clinics listed on the Ultherapy Singapore site of certified clinics.

While Ultherapy stands as a reliable solution, it’s essential to note that some clinics may offer other lifting treatments as more affordable alternativ­es. Exercise caution, as these alternativ­es may not provide the same level of effectiven­ess and be as targeted as Ultherapy.

Read on for the answers to some commonly asked questions about Ultherapy.

Who is Ultherapy Suited For?

Whether addressing mild sagging or combating advanced signs of ageing, Ultherapy offers a non-invasive path to reclaim youthful beauty.

“Ultherapy is suitable for anyone looking to naturally refresh their look, reduce the signs of ageing such as skin laxity and sagging, and improve facial contour,” according to Dr Leong.

What Happens During Ultherapy?

Ultherapy begins with the delivery of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to precise depths within the skin. This focused approach targets foundation­al layers that boost collagen.

“We will first scan the face using Ultherapy’s in-built realtime visualisat­ion, and determine the treatment depths to be used. You will experience a small prickling sensation, usually well-tolerated, and rated at 2 to 3 out of 10,” says Dr Leong.

How Long Do the Results Last?

Your Ultherapy journey promises lasting transforma­tions. “The results from Ultherapy usually last one to two years, and depend on factors like genetics, lifestyle, or exposure to external factors such as sunlight,” states Dr Leong.

What Can a Patient Expect Post-Treatment?

Following an Ultherapy session, you may experience temporary redness and mild swelling that typically subside within a few hours. To preserve your new-found radiance, Dr Leong advises: “Minimise the effects of extrinsic ageing, such as smoking, excessive caffeine intake, stress, and excessive UV exposure. Having a well-balanced diet with mineral-rich foods high in antioxidan­ts will help prolong the results. Don't forget your sunscreen!”

Ultherapy presents the key to unlocking the beauty of your youth. With the right guidance, you can experience a transforma­tion that defies time.
